Chapter 94 Cleaning?
While Lorne was wandering aimlessly around the tavern, a carriage that was not particularly eye-catching caught his eye and left in the opposite direction.
It seemed that the carriage was heading for a distant destination.
Lorne did not pay too much attention to this carriage and continued on his way.
However, Weiss, who happened to lift the curtain in the carriage, tugged at the sleeve of the person beside him in surprise.
“Father, look, isn’t that Lorne?” That’s right, this carriage belonged to Kyle. Today, he was preparing to bring his First Prince to see what the 5,000 elite soldiers looked like.
It was also good for the future heir of the Lolan Empire to familiarize himself with the military aspects of things so that he would know what it would look like in the future.
At the same time, he would also observe Johnny lead the army and escort the various diplomatic missions to India away.
On this side, Kyle’s sleeves were being pulled by his son. After hearing what he said… he immediately poked his head over to the window of the carriage.
He lifted the curtain slightly and observed the far-away man for a few seconds.
Kyle turned around and nodded at Weiss.
“It really is Lorne. Speaking of which, he did not open his tavern early in the morning. He just sat there and meddled with his own business. Why is he here?”
Weiss thought for a moment and reminded him, “Father, have you forgotten? Isn’t today the day thatXuan Moster is leaving with Lieutenant-general Johnny and five thousand elite soldiers? Perhaps he is here to watch the show. He just didn’t expect you to seal off the area. That could be why he’s heading back now.”
As soon as Weiss finished speaking, Kyle immediately clapped his hands.
“That makes sense. It must be because of that. Lorne really enjoys these kinds of things. If there’s anything new happening, he would always be around to observe.”
When he said this, Kyle chuckled with some pride.
“I was the one who thought five steps ahead and predicted that such a situation would happen, so I ordered people to seal off the entrances.
“Otherwise, there might really be a possibility of our cover being blown today. Now, even someone as smart as Lorne has to adhere to my rules.”
Weiss looked at his father’s smug look and his face could not help but twitch a few times. He could not help but grumble in his heart.
‘You really know how to make people laugh. Are you sure your methods are that brilliant of praise?’
For some reason, his father had changed so much that he could not accept it.
Compared to his strict father a month ago, he seemed to be quite different.
However, to be honest, Weiss was happier to see this kind of king. The king did not bring too much pressure on him and that made him more relaxed.
So, Weiss also took the opportunity to clap for his father.
“Father, you have foresight and wisdom. It is no wonder that it is recognized by all the ministers in the imperial court. I admire
you!”
Kyle laughed and proudly accepted his First Prince’s flattery. He did not feel that there was anything wrong.
“Not bad, Weiss. Your perception of things has indeed improved a lot. It seems that you have learned some things from me.”
After the father and son happily praised each other, Kyle suddenly thought of something.
“Oh right, after Johnny leaves, you can go to Lorne’s place by yourself.
“It’s been a few days. It’ll be a good time to receive his guidance and learn some new things.”
Weiss immediately nodded. He was looking forward to this. He had learned a lot from his previous meet-up. This time, it would definitely be very beneficial for him.
The march ceremony to open the faraway gate was actually not a huge one, and it did not take long. However, the imposing manner displayed by the 5,000 well-equipped elite soldiers with high morale still made the First Prince Weiss beam with excitement.
This was the first time he had seen a fully formed army being deployed. Before this, he had only been able to accompany Kyle on a tour of the northern camp.
These two experiences were completely different.
After Johnny ordered the army to leave Lolan, Kyle and Weiss took two carriages each.
Kyle wanted to go to the manor in the southern suburbs of Lolan City to take a stroll. In the past two or three days, he had not missed a single moment. He had been strictly supervising the various facilities and procedures in the manor to be fully prepared for the production.
As for Weiss, he went to the tavern to learn something from Lorne, as he had agreed at the beginning
After Weiss’s carriage traveled for a while, it finally stopped at the same place where Kyle stopped every time. Then, the First Prince turned over and gave a kick. He jumped down from the carriage in a somewhat happy mood. Then, he went to the tavern alone in a carefree manner.
However, just as he stepped into the tavern, a strong fragrance had hit his olfactory nerves. Weiss could not help but sneeze a few times.
After he finally got used to the pungent fragrance, he opened his eyes and looked around, he saw his teacher lying on a table, fiddling with something.
It seemed to be some bottles and jars, some flower petals, and all kinds of strange-colored juices.
He hurriedly walked over.
“Greetings, teacher!”
Lorne had already woken up from his focus when Weiss sneezed. He saw that it was Weiss who ran over to him, he realized that Kyle was not with him.
Lorne could not help but roll his eyes, and then said kindly, “No need to be so polite. Let me finish these things first.
“If you want, you can clean up the tavern. There is a piece of cloth on the counter over there. You can get water from the kitchen.
“Remember to polish the tables and chairs. You can also sweep the floor.”
Lorne continued to spurt out commands, and Weiss was a little dumbfounded when he heard that. What was going on?
Why did his teacher ask him to do housework the moment he arrived? Was he treating him like a waiter?
He was the First Prince. He had never done such menial work before. Was that not a little out of place? Thus, Weiss scratched his head in embarrassment.
“Teacher, don’t you want to teach me profound knowledge? Why did you ask me to clean the tables, chairs, and floors the moment I arrived?”
“I’m a little confused. I wonder if you can enlighten me on it?”
Lorne immediately stopped moving his hands and let out a long sigh.
He spoke in a sincere manner, and there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
“Little friend, it seems that you don’t understand my painstaking efforts. You don’t know the true meaning of what I’m doing! You’ve disappointed me!”
